Create an array in Shopify's liquid
Still works in 2025!
According to Shopify’s documentation, you can’t create arrays with liquid.
Unfortunately, that means you can’t do something simple and clean like this:
{% assign fruits = \["orange", "apple", "peach"] %}Thankfully, there’s a workaround!
You can use the split filter to create accessible arrays in liquid:
{% assign fruits = "orange,apple,peach" | split: ',' %}It’s not particularly elegant, but it does the job. You can then loop over this array and do whatever you like:
{% for fruit in fruits %}
{{ fruit }}
{% endfor %}And voila.
Being able to capture arrays with liquid opens up a lot of possible applications for your Shopify store!
